Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting alone before Employment Judge Buzzard at Liverpool on 13 October 2023, held that the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. The judgment records that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's final wages.
The tribunal ordered Liberty Gas Group Ltd to pay the claimant the gross sum of £977 as compensation within 28 days of the date of the judgment. The judgment states that the claimant is responsible for any tax or employee National Insurance contributions due on that payment.
The written record also includes a notice about interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, explaining when interest may become payable if the award is not paid in full within 14 days after the relevant decision day. No separate interest amount was awarded in the judgment record provided.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
